1.1: Product Handling
Every effort is made to insure that the equipment arrives undamaged and ready to be
installed. Packing is designed to protect internal components as well as the enclosure.
Do not remove protective packing until you are ready to install the equipment.
When you receive the equipment, you should inspect the shipping container for any
obvious signs of rough handling and/or external damage that occurred during trans-
portation. Record any external and internal damage for reporting to the transportation
carrier and EIG. All claims should be as specific as possible and include general order
numbers.
You will find a plastic bag of instruction booklets and/or CDs in the shipping container.
Store these documents in a safe place.
1: Introduction
The Self-Enclosed Shark® Meter Assembly lets you remotely mount Shark® power
meters. Applications include switchgear expansion, outdoor mounting capability, and
remote mounting applications. This is an ideal solution for a retrofit when there is no
metering compartment available. The unit comes standard with either a NEMA 1
indoor or a NEMA 4X outdoor enclosure and is factory wired with the meter installed.
Standard equipment includes voltage fuses, a shorting block for current transformer
connections, and a control power transformer if used with 277/480 Volt power sys-
tems.
The enclosure can be ordered with any of the following multifunction meters: Shark®
50 meter, Shark® 50B meter with native BACnet MS/TP, Shark® 100 meter, Shark®
100B meter with native BACnet/IP protocol, or Shark® 200 advanced meter with
datalogging and extensive I/O. It is offered in two voltage configurations:
• 277 Volt enclosure (which comes equipped with a control power transformer)
• 120-240 Volt enclosure
CAUTION! READ AND UNDERSTAND THE INSTRUCTIONS CONTAINED IN
THIS DOCUMENT BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO UNPACK, INSTALL, OPERATE,
OR MAINTAIN THIS EQUIPMENT.

1.2: Safety Precautions
WARNING! All safety codes, safety standards, and/or
regulations must be strictly observed in the installation, oper-
ation, and maintenance of this device.
Hazardous voltages that can cause death or severe personal injury are present inside

these voltages.
Avertissement! tous les codes de sécurité, normes de sécurité et règlements
doivent être suivis strictement dans l'installation, le fonctionnement et la
maintenance de cet appareil.
Des tensions dangereuses peuvent provoquer la mort ou des blessures graves. suivre
l'installation adéquate, le fonctionnement et les procédures de maintenance pour
éviter ces tensions.
Completely read and understand the material presented in this document before
attempting installation, operation, or application of the equipment. In addition, only
qualified persons should be permitted to perform any work associated with the
equipment. Any wiring instructions presented in this document must be followed
precisely. Failure to do so could cause permanent equipment damage.
All possible contingencies that may arise during installation, operation, or mainte-
nance, and all details and variations of this equipment do not purport to be covered by
these instructions. If further information is desired by purchaser regarding a particular
installation, operation, or maintenance of particular equipment, contact an Electro
Industries/GaugeTech (EIG) representative.
1.3: Storage
Although it has been well packaged, this equipment should not be stored outdoors. If
the equipment is to be stored indoors for any period of time, it should be stored with
its protective packaging in place. Refer to the Shark®50/50B100/100B and Shark®
200 Installation and Operation manuals, on the enclosed CD, for the meter’s storage
requirements.
The temperature rating for enclosure storage is (-20 to +50)oC.

WARNING!
All safety codes, safety standards, and/or regulations shall be
strictly observed in the installation, operation, and maintenance of
this device. This device shall be installed in an un-energized condition and as
per the National Electric Code.
AVERTISSEMENT! Tous les codes de sécurité, normes de sécurité et règlement
doivent être suivis strictement pour l'installation, le fonctionnement et la maintenance
de cet appareil. Cet appareil doit être installé hors tension conformément au
code électrique national (National Electric Code).
Choose a mounting location that offers a flat, rigid mounting surface capable of
supporting the weight of the equipment. The unit weighs 25 lbs (11.4 kg) maximum.
Mount the equipment in a suitable environment. These enclosures are designed for
NEMA 1 or NEMA 4x environments, depending on the enclosure ordered, and are
manufactured of painted steel.
Check to make certain that there are no pipes, wires, or other mounting hazards in
the immediate mounting area that could create a problem. Also make sure you have
enough clearance around the enclosure to run wiring to it safely. EIG recommends at
least 2 feet of clearance around the enclosure.
Carefully remove all packing material from the unit. Even though an equipment
inspection was made when the equipment was received, make another careful inspec-
tion of the enclosure and the devices inside as packing material is removed. Be
especially alert for distorted metal, loose wires, or damaged components. This is
important because wiring can come loose in shipping and could cause a short circuit
or voltage to be on the wrong terminal. Please inspect to make sure all the wiring is in
the proper place and all connections are tight. Refer to figures 2.1 and 2.2 for internal
wiring schematics.
WARNING!
Extreme care shall be taken when mounting the enclosure, and making
wire entry holes, to prevent metal chips, filings, and other
contaminants from entering the enclosure which may damage the equipment and
create a hazardous condition.

2.1: Recommended Procedures for Wire Entry Hole Cutting
The enclosure does not come with wire entry holes (punch entries). They must be cut
in the location you want depending on the installation. See Figure 2.3 for the locations
that EIG recommends. See CAUTIONS on next page.

CAUTIONS!
• There are numerous methods for making wire entry holes in the enclosure but it is
imperative that no loose material generated during the process remains in the
enclosure. During installation and cutting the wire holes, all equipment mounted
inside or on the enclosure shall be protected from loose material.
• No matter what procedure is used the installer shall verify that the hole cutting
process will not damage any of the wiring or components installed inside or on the
enclosure.
The two recommended procedures for cutting the wire entry holes are as follows:
• Use a "C" frame punch to cut the wire entry holes. This type of punch does not
require a pilot hole. A typical "C" frame punch is shown below.
Figure 2.4: “C” Frame Punch
• Regular punch:
1. Place a magnet inside the enclosure where the pilot hole is to be cut and: for
the NEMA 1 enclosure, completely cover the area with masking tape (or other
very sticky tape); for the NEMA 4X enclosure, use sticky tape, only.
2. Drill the pilot hole from the outside and do not let the drill pass more than ¼"
into the enclosure.
3. Remove the tape, magnet, and cuttings and punch the hole.
After wiring and before energizing, vacuum the inside of the enclosure to make sure
that it is free of foreign material. If a vacuum is not available use an alternate method
to clean the inside of the enclosure. Do not use compressed air (or pressurized gas) to
clean the inside of the enclosure as this may force cuttings into areas that cannot be
seen, creating a hazardous condition.
IMPORTANT!
• All wire entry into the enclosure shall be accomplished with the use of recognized
fittings or strain reliefs. Bare holes shall not be used.

• For the NEMA 4X Enclosure you must use ALWAYS use UL listed, Liquid Tight
electrical conduit fittings so that the enclosure remains watertight. See the exam-
ple in Figure 2.5.
CAUTION! If fitting is not Liquid Tight, it could cause a dangerous condition.
• Pour le boîtier NEMA 4X vous devez utiliser TOUJOURS utiliser la certification UL,
Liquid Tight raccords de conduits électriques de telle sorte que l'enceinte reste
étanche à l'eau. Voir l'exemple de la Figure 2-5.
PRUDENCE! Si raccord est pas étanche aux liquides, il pourrait causer une situation
dangereuse.
